I am a Latinx/Brazilian Marriage and Family therapist; I have extensive experience assisting different populations navigate Individual, family and marital challenges. My focus has been on trauma, anxiety, family, relationship and marital issues. My clients have discovered the benefits of adding my support to their lives , having someone they can openly speak to without reservations or fear of judgment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My clients often leave their first session with a better understanding of the therapeutic process and a positive outlook of their future. I like to take the time to build a rapport and hear your story. I want my clients to feel comfortable as we discuss their lives, secure in the therapeutic relationship and reveal details only when they are ready. Currently I am only taking Insurance for Individual sessions, for couples session please refer to my private pay fee.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

When I’m not working, you’ll often find me enjoying the beach, hanging out with my dog Yoda , or spending quality time with loved ones. I bring that same calm and supportive presence into our sessions, offering a laid-back, welcoming space where we can work through your challenges, celebrate your wins, and build a life that truly reflects your authentic self.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Feeling trapped in the same relationship patterns, dissatisfied, unfulfilled or unsure how to move forward? I work with individuals who are ready to stop settling, grow their confidence, and create meaningful, empowering connections. Whether you’re exploring therapy for the first time or returning, you're here because you’re seeking more from life. You don’t need a quick fix—because you’re not broken. What you need is a supportive space to reconnect with yourself and start crafting a life that truly fits who you are.
